Absolute Internship Reviews

My experience with Absolute Internship in Barcelona was truly unforgettable. I absolutely fell in love with Spain, from the culture and people to the lifestyle and beautiful city of Barcelona. Having Barcelona as my home base made the experience feel like I was truly living abroad rather than just visiting. I had a favorite supermarket where they knew and recognized me, and we would smile and wave everytime I passed by, a favorite pizza place, etc. Being able to go on weekend trips to other countries and come back to a home was amazing, rather than moving from hotel to hotel for 2 months. The public transportation made it so easy to explore the city and travel to other places throughout Barcelona, and we got a metro card so we didn't have to pay every time we wanted to move around. One of my favorite parts of the program was the people I met. I made some of my best friends through Absolute, and the memories we had are something I will never forget. I also loved my host company and coworkers, who made me feel welcomed, supported, and excited to go to work each day. The program coordinators (Giorgie, Claudia, Annie, Ella, Erick, and Gio) were incredibly helpful and made the entire experience feel comfortable and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. I also made friends who are locals, and I'm planning to go back and visit them.

I heavily recommend this experience for anyone who is considering going abroad. This was genuinely the best decision I have made since I got to college. It completely changed my perspective of what living in Southeast Asia entails. With Singapore being such a large global city I was expecting it to feel like New York City, but it was much different. It was a lot slower paced and more organized than I was expecting. I also had an amazing time with my company, I did meaningful work and really enjoyed the culture that they have. My boss has offered to reach out to other teams in other locations across the globe if I want to work for the company again. The relationships I made were definitely the best part of the program, and the weekend trips really helped with this. In the end I was sadder to leave Singapore more than I was excited to get back to the United States. I would highly recommend this for anyone considering it.

I was in Paris with Absolute summer 2026. I found the program coordinators super attentive and helpful. I watched them jump in when other students were sick or upset or having logistical issues with traveling. The housing was fine, clean and safe but a little small with very little storage. There were several opportunities to go on weekend or day trips and explore the city with coordinators. The internships I heard about and that I had were fine, no one had a terrible experience. But you definitely will be working full time, it’s very rare to get a day off outside of weekends.

Completing an internship through Absolute Internship was an amazing experience! Not only did I get to go to a bakery and see the Eiffel Tower every day, but I got to experience Paris in a way that I would not have been able to do by myself. Being able to truly experience Paris by being a member of the working society, taking my daily commutes, and hanging out in "local" spots was unmatched. Absolute did a great job supporting me throughout the whole process, from the placement to the on-site experience.

As a student at San Diego State University, I had an incredible experience with Absolute Internship. They placed me at a business law firm in Paris, where I got to do real substantive work, legal research, translation, contract analysis, and document drafting, rather than just fetching coffee. The program handled the logistics seamlessly, so I could focus on making the most of the experience. Living and working in Paris pushed me out of my comfort zone and gave me a genuine sense of what it’s like to practice law internationally. I’d recommend Absolute Internship to any student looking to gain real professional experience abroad.

Completing an international internship in Barcelona gave me the opportunity to grow professionally, personally, and culturally while gaining valuable experience in a global work environment.
During my internship, I worked with the European Large Families Confederation (ELFAC), where I developed skills in communication, marketing, content creation, project management, and collaboration with an international team. I was able to contribute to meaningful projects while learning how organizations operate across different cultures.
Beyond the professional experience, living abroad helped me become more independent, adaptable, and confident. I was able to explore a new country, connect with people from different backgrounds, and step outside of my comfort zone. The support provided by Absolute Internship made the transition into an international experience much smoother.
I would highly recommend Absolute Internship to any student looking to gain career experience, expand their global perspective, and create lifelong memories. This program is a great opportunity for anyone who wants to develop professionally while experiencing a new culture.

My experience with Absolute Internship in Stockholm gave me a strong balance of professional experience followed by gaining more indpendence. I interened at Sniph Perfumes, where i worked on financial analysis and content market research such as the customer journey analysis, identifying competitors for the company, and UX and conversion optimization. My team was wonderful and supporting and they were collaborative, which helped me easily integrate to the work culture, as i was initially used to working in more hierahcal places. The ongoing support from the staff is also very well done as they are fast and responsive and answer your questions in a timely manner. Finally, i made several very important friends in this program and it created a life long lasting experience.

The time I spent living and working this summer in Korea changed my outlook on my studies and what I want to do after graduating. It gave me the context I needed for the work I enjoy and how I want to spend my time wherever I end up living! My program assistants were super helpful in navigating Seoul, and helped me and my friends with finding pharmacies and medical services when we needed them. My internship placement was a little crazy, but I learned a lot from the chaos and working with so many people! Overall, I had a great time, and appreciate the support in my experience abroad!

My six-week internship in Barcelona with Absolute Internship was a life changing experience. Working at a dynamic firm, I stepped out of my comfort zone to process operational invoices directly through Spanish accounting software, which sharpened my financial skills and adaptability in an international workplace.

Beyond the office, the program provided rich cultural immersion, including incredible weekend trips like exploring Madrid. Navigating a new city alongside a cohort of ambitious peers expanded my global perspective, built my confidence as an emerging finance professional, and showed me the value of professional experience abroad.

Absolute Internship didn't just offer an internship, it also gave me an unforgettable summer that fundamentally shaped my career direction.
